PEI rules
What Prince Edward Island requires
- Home heat tanks are inspected and tagged. Tags issued since April 1, 2012 expire on June 30 of the year printed on them.
- Since July 1, 2020, every new tank installation must be non-metallic. A steel tank with an expiring tag is replaced with a non-metallic tank.
- Only licensed installers can do the work, and they file the inspection form with Inspection Services and give you a copy.

FAQ
Oil tank questions from Summerside
How do I get my oil tank replaced in Summerside?
Send one request with your address and tank details. We pass it to licensed installers who cover Summerside and Prince County, and they contact you with a quote.
Do installers in Summerside remove old tanks after a heat pump install?
Yes. Removal is a common job: pumping out the leftover oil and sludge, taking the tank away, and sealing the old fill and vent pipes.
Will my home insurance cover an oil leak?
It depends on your policy and the tank. Many insurers ask for the tank's age and material at renewal and when a home is sold, and some decline or limit coverage on older steel tanks. Call your insurer and ask what they need from you before your renewal date.
